NOVA examines the 'Great American Eclipse'

I concluded Earthquake, eclipse, and other news on 'SNL' by telling my readers to stay tuned for today's eclipse! In the spirit of NOVA warns of 'The Next Pompeii' for the Ides of March, last month's most popular entry posted during March 2023, I'm embedding Great American Eclipse | Full Documentary | NOVA | PBS.

Explore the spectacular cosmic phenomenon of a total solar eclipse. In April 2024, the Moon’s shadow is sweeping from Texas to Maine, as the U.S. witnesses its last total solar eclipse until 2044. This extraordinary astronomical event is plunging locations in the path of totality into darkness for more than four minutes – nearly twice as long as the last American eclipse in 2017. Learn how to watch an eclipse safely and follow scientists as they work to unlock secrets of our Sun – from why its atmosphere is hundreds of times hotter than its surface, to what causes solar storms and how we might one day predict them.

That was everything I was hoping it would be and more — lots of science, history, and even archeology!

NOVA has more in NOVA goes eclipse hunting!.

Join members of the NOVA team for a behind the scenes look at the preparations being made in Kerrville, TX for the April 8 total solar eclipse!

Nothing like asking a NASA scientist!

Watch the eclipse as it happens in NOVA Solar Eclipse Livestream.

On April 8, 2024, millions of Americans will witness the rare event of a solar eclipse that will cross the continental United States. Join NOVA for a live stream prior to the eclipse where we will be joined by NASA scientists at the Kerrville Eclipse Festival in Texas!
Learn how to watch an eclipse safely, discover what eclipses can reveal to scientists about the secrets of the Sun, and hear from the eclipse festival attendees.

You can watch the eclipse here. I'm less than an hour away from totality, as long as there isn't a traffic jam on the way, so I'm planning on traveling there to see it in person. Wish me a safe journey!

Like the post I'm modeling this one on, I'm ending with a relevant song, Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart - Symphonic Orchestra 430 Broken Peach - 20th Century Rock.

Increíble actuación de Bonnie Tyler, Symphonic Orchestra 430 bajo la batuta de Carlos Rodríguez, y Broken Peach, interpretando Total Eclipse of the Heart, en la Gala 18 Aniversario que tuvo lugar el 11 de junio de 2017 en el Auditorio Mar de Vigo.

Translation: "Incredible performance by Bonnie Tyler, Symphonic Orchestra 430 under the baton of Carlos Rodríguez, and Broken Peach, performing Total Eclipse of the Heart, at the 18th Anniversary Gala that took place on June 11, 2017 at the Mar de Vigo Auditorium."

Yes, Broken Peach are Bonnie Tyler's backup singers. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used this song — too on the nose.

See you all later and enjoy the eclipse!
